Also my check engine or egr light is on. Is ther an easy way to pull the codes on these Raiders? I would assume that the brains on these things are that high tech.

The codes are pulled with a old analog voltmeter. You count the times the needle swings back and forth. I think there is a write up in the archives. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I would imagine you hit the "every 50k service light"
There is a switch behind the guages to shut it off. Nothing high tech about it.

I guess I missed it. Looking at tech on front page but nothing about check egr or error codes. Thanks for helping the noob.

I believe someone has previously made the distinction between the "check engine" light and the "maintenance required" light. The latter can be turned off by pressing a button (do a serch). The former can indicate a multitude of sensor/performance malfunctions. If the "check engine" light is coming on, try clicking here. -DougB <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Isn't the only computerized component inside the dizzy on a 4 banger? PHIL

no, there's an ecu on the 4 cyl with carb. That drove me nuts- the carb does most of the work, but the computer and o2 sensor fine- tune the mix with a mini- injector to compensate for changing conditions and wear.
And so you get the worst of both worlds- fussy carb and inscrutable computer. Thing seems to work pretty well, though, most of the time... just heinously inelegant.
